What makes this villa unique

When you first arrive at Villa Karissa the 8m x 3.5 metre self cleaning pool is one of the first benefits you will notice, then the large private garden.

The villa is built with traditional stones of Zakynthos inside and out. A large veranda leading to the entrance of the villa and likewise a large balcony above, this is where you see Gerakas Peak and the Ionian sea.

The villa is tastefully furnished and we have tried to think of our staying guests every need from cooking utensils to beach towels plus many other complimentary benefits.

Guestbook comments from the owner

Just to say thank you for letting us stay at your beautiful villa. It has to be one of the best places we have ever stayed in and we had a fantastic relaxing holiday. The accommodation was very clean and comfortable with the air conditioning being especially welcome in the hot weather. The pool area is also great; it was also entertaining to watch the house martins skimming the surface of the water (I don’t know if th they were drinking or catching insects). The garden is is lovely and much bigger than we expected. The Vasilikos peninsular is also lovely and I don’t think the property could be better located. The bus service was good for getting to Zakynthos town, (although next time we would probably hire a car to get to other parts of the island). We also enjoyed walks in the immediate area as well as Gerakas beach. The tavernas were also nice and we particularly liked Niko’s. The locals are extremely friendly and helpful. When we arrived we were early, and your housekeepers allowed us to drop our luggage in whilst they finished. finished. They even offered to drive us down to the bar! There is no doubt that we will return in the future, maybe even next year.

Notes on accommodation: There is a large open-plan sitting and dining area with kitchen. We have tried to ensure that any guests wishing to cook at home have everything available to them. We will soon be producing a list of shops in the area and what is available to buy there, just to make life a little more comfortable, some will even deliver to your door! A separate utility room inside the villa, contains a washing machine, clothes horse, iron and ironing board, cleaning utilities, wash room stores and a guest safe.
